Site: http://Japonais.ca
Report: https://directindex.org/r/japonais.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Japonais is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Japonais's website. It can read what Japonais offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://japonais.ca/events (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.order.store/store/japonais-bistro/qZqr-labUre9Kk75DLKdLw (through ubereats_storefront acting for the business)
- Menu: https://japonais.ca/menu/foodmenu
- Phone: +1-780-760-1616
- Address: Jasper Avenue NW 11806 T5K 0N7
- Its menu mentions: vegan options, vegetarian dishes

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Japonais that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Dorinku Tokyo (3.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/dorinku.ca
- Maki Maki Japanese and Vietnamese Restaurant (3.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/lakeareapainting.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2023.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
